DVT (deep vein thrombosis)
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a medical condition characterized by the formation of blood clots (thrombi) in the deep veins of the body, typically in the legs. These blood clots can partially or completely obstruct blood flow, leading to symptoms such as pain, swelling, and redness in the affected limb. DVT can be a serious condition, as blood clots have the potential to break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a life-threatening condition known as pulmonary embolism.
